I (Mike) take leadership very seriously.
One of my desires, even in our current empty nest years is to be the kind of family leader that my children and stepchild want to connect with and listen to.
But often I feel overwhelmed or frustrated as I lead my blended family. All the complexities can lead to confusion that robs me of the confidence and connection I'm trying to build.
Guys — have you ever felt that way?
You certainly aren't alone. And you don't have to figure it all out by yourself.
In this episode, we're reconnecting with Mike Haney who will offer his insightful perspectives on how to intentionally lead your blended family.
Mike has been courageously leading his blended family for over 20 years and this discussion will help you to gain hope through a deeper understanding of your role so that you can experience fulfillment in your marriage and in blended family life.
Don't let the complexities of blending keep you from courageously leading your family. You can be intentional and effective with the right attitude and understanding. Then you can experience the confidence, connection (and peace) you're looking for!
